2026 Run to Remember LOOSEFOOT 616

Join The AWS1 James Buriak Foundation for the Fifth Annual Run to Remember LOOSEFOOT 616, taking place from October 17 through October 21, 2026. This virtual run honors five lives lost over consecutive days and aims to raise awareness about their legacy.
Each day of the event offers an opportunity to remember those who were part of the LOOSEFOOT 616 incident by running in their memory. Participants are encouraged to choose any distance that feels meaningful for them, whether it’s a quick jog or a longer run, making this event accessible and personal. The flexibility allows runners from around the world to participate at times convenient to them.
The AWS1 James Buriak Foundation is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting Navy and Marine Corps Aviation families through education and immediate assistance in case of mishaps. By participating in Run to Remember LOOSEFOOT 616, you contribute directly to this vital cause.
Registration before October 1st guarantees your run t-shirt will be mailed ahead of the event start date. For those who register later, shirts will still arrive as soon as possible after production is complete.
This unique and poignant virtual race offers a meaningful way for runners worldwide to pay tribute to lives lost while supporting an important cause in the military community. Join us from October 17 through October 21 to honor LOOSEFOOT 616.
